With spring finally arriving , downtown Lawrenceburg has been bustling with activity . The outdoor restaurant seating has been installed . Being able to sit outside again before it gets too hot is so exciting . I even noticed a new sign advertising the city park that will be constructed soon . Wow , is that ever going to be a great addition to downtown ! Music On The River starts up again on June 7 and runs through August 30 . The entertainment lineup is amazing . All you parrot heads will be glad to hear that the Parrots of the Caribbean ( featuring the music of Jimmy Buffet ) will be in Lawrenceburg on Aug . 9 .
I want to extend many congratulations to the young people involved in choir and band at Lawrenceburg schools . The Lawrenceburg Band received gold awards in performance and sight reading by the Indiana State School Music Association at the state festival . What is sight reading ? I didn ’ t know either , so I had to ask a student . Basically , the band is given a piece of music that they may never have seen before , and they have to play it right then and there . Receiving a gold in that category takes talent ! Congratulations also to The Young

Lawrenceburg has reaped the benefits of two Eagle Scout projects by CJ Nutley and George Beiderhake III . George built a stone walkway up to the Angevine Cabin ( the log cabin near the Lawrenceburg Historical Society ). CJ prepared emergency burn out bags that will be distributed to fire victims by the fire department . CJ delivered his bags to fire chief Johnnie Tremain in April and presented his project to city council . St John Lutheran Church and Emanuel Lutheran will maintain this project by collecting donations for ongoing needed bags . Lawrenceburg City Council voted to include a $ 50 gift certificate in every bag at the chief ’ s discretion . Congratulations to Troop 604 for producing the first Eagle Scouts for this troop since 1969 , and to Chris Nutley for acting as mentor to these two fine

young men . Great job boys ! The Lawrenceburg Historical Society is raffling off a beautiful vintage quilt in October to raise funds for ongoing operating expenses at the Vance- Tousey House . This house was built in 1818 in the late Georgian Federal style . It was the home of Samuel Vance , the founder of Lawrenceburg . Among other duties , the volunteers at the historical society are tasked with cataloguing the many historical photos that are dropped off weekly by family members who want to preserve Dearborn County family history . Tickets for this quilt ( vintage 1930s quilt top recently hand quilted by Jenny Awad ) are $ 1 each or 6 for $ 5 . Tickets are available by calling 812-537-4075 .
In addition to the quilt raffle , the historical society recently put on a very successful fundraiser “ Fairy Tea ” recently for young children at the Boy Scout cabin . The decorations were adorable , food was delicious , crafts very ingenious , and the “ fairies ” attending had a great time .
Graduation and prom are always bittersweet as they mark the end of another school year . I am looking forward to a great summer of activity in Lawrenceburg .

As I passed the Guilford Covered Bridge Park one Saturday in April , I observed several volunteers who were busy sprucing it up . I glanced at the Miller-York Volunteer Fire Department sign and noticed it was a clean-up day at the park . Continuing my drive home , I realized the following day was Earth Day , an annual day designated to protect the earth .
While driving from Guilford to Yorkville , I noticed a plethora of garbage along the road . I ’ m always amazed at how much litter lies along our roads . When we got home , my two-year-old and I joined in the clean-up movement by picking up trash in our neighborhood . Almost everything we collected was recyclable , and I pondered why so many people continue to litter .
Help do your part by
keeping our earth clean , and recycle when you can . Two recycling drop-off locations are located near the Guilford and Yorkville areas : Tanner Valley United Methodist Church located on State Road 1 and the New Alsace American Legion Post 452 located on Legion Road . For a list of all Dearborn County recycling locations , visit Dearborn- CountyRecycles . com .
Guilford lost a great man on April 20 . Neil Maushart passed away , leaving his devoted wife Karen , children Leslie ( Michael Bess II ) and Brad , and grandson Michael . Neil worked for Duke Energy for more than forty years and was an active member of All Saints Parish . Every time I saw Neil , he always had a big smile on his face and asked about my family and me . I know I speak for many when I say he will be greatly missed .
Michael Graf achieved quite a feat that not many people can claim they have accomplished : on April 16 he bowled a perfect game ! For those of you who aren ’ t wellversed in bowling nomenclature , he threw 12 strikes in a row to score a 300 . According to Google , the odds of an adult male bowling a perfect game are 11,500 to one . Congratulations , Michael !
